pretty sure it's already available without perscription.
My ex just walked into a pharmacy once and asked for it.

The NHS doesn't mention any prescription requirements.

That's great news. I thought it already was, but it turns out it's just some places that offer it for free so good it's being expanded:
>The new announcement aims to increase access to the morning-after pill; while it is already available for nothing from most GP surgeries, most sexual health clinics and some NHS walk-in centres, not all pharmacies offer it for nothing, with some women paying up to £30 for the medication.

It's great news, making access to contraception easier is always a good thing.

With or without prescription?
